GitHub actions pipeline failing, but not locally

Hi all,

I'm trying to get a pipeline on GitHub actions working, but for some reason, I get 403 errors but not locally. These are the errors (I use Pest PHP for testing):

  • Tests\Feature\Endpoints\EndpointTest > an endpoint detail page can be viewed when authenticated
   PHPUnit\Framework\ExceptionWrapper 

  This action is unauthorized.

    150▕         if ($this->denied()) {
  ➜ 151▕             throw (new AuthorizationException($this->message(), $this->code()))
    152▕                 ->setResponse($this)
    153▕                 ->withStatus($this->status);
    154▕         }

I believe my laravel.yml file is correct:

  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

jobs:
  laravel-tests:

      env:
        DB_CONNECTION: sqlite
        DB_DATABASE: database/database.sqlite

What is happening here? Why are they failing on GitHub but not locally? If someone can help me a bit in the right direction that would be great.
